Workout

Decided to be a little more proactive about Crown. I've been fighting with focus, but need to step it up if I'm ever to win this thing. In addition to the extra fighting I'll be getting in the next year as I travel with Their Highnesses Midrealm (I am to be Her Highness' champion) I'm starting a real fitness routine as well. 

UPPER BODY #1

Push-ups
  • 4 sets of 12
  • 2 seconds down, pause, 1 second up
  • 1,3 wide stance; 2,4 close stance

Triceps push down
  • 3 sets of 12 (30 seconds between sets)

Lat pull down
  • 6 sets of 12 (30 seconds between sets)
  • Sets 1,3,5 overhand grip
  • Sets 2,4,6 underhand grip

Upright row

I had a co-worker design this workout for me. He's way into weight lifting, whereas my attitude about working out is best described as "fuck that." I really hate lifting, but I'm going to try to stick to it. A little extra muscle can only help.
